Nicole Scherzinger — You Dance The Pants Off Of Everybody Else, So Why Don't The Fans Like You?

Poor Nicole Scherzinger and partner Derek Hough — we love you and there’s no question that you two are the best dancers on the show, but you just can’t get the fans to rally behind you!

Dancing With The Stars judges gave Nicole Scherzinger and Derek Hough the highest score of 26 points last night, Apr. 26, for their samba routine and swing dance elimination round, but fans who came to HollywoodLife‘s Live Chat would rather cheer for underdog Pamela Anderson and partner Damian Whitewood or Cincinnati Bengals Wide Receiver Chad Ochocinco and partner Cheryl Burke!

Here’s what HollywoodLifers had to say:

“Chad is the best football player/dancer they have ever had,” said one fan! “I love him,” another added.

And even though Pam’s Argentine Tango didn’t move her to the top of the judges list, her fans definitely had her back. “Fingers crossed for Pam,” said one chatter. “I hope Pam does well,” said another!

On the other hand, Nicole and Derek elicited nitpicking from HollywoodLife chatters! “Nicole is not loving this dance,” said one fan of her routine. “Nicole is a perfectionist and a worry wart,” criticized another.

Here’s a wrap up:

Chad and Cheryl came in 3rd with a score of 24. Pamela and Damian followed close behind with a score of 22 which brought them up from the very bottom of the pack where they found themselves last week in round five!

Erin Andrews and partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy, came in second with a score of 24. Jake Pavelka and Chelsie Hightower, Evan Lysacek and Anna Trebunskaya, and Niecy Nash and Louis van Amstel, all tied for last place with scores of 21.

Sounds like the battle lines are clearly drawn and fans have chosen sides. It should be interesting to see who goes home in tonight’s elimination round.
